Lady Die 63 Posted October 14, 2005 I think you are reading far too much into this! The funeral was "family only" & they'll have a memorial service later. about 20 family members and close friends in Oxfordshire. Not quite "family only" then - anyway with some family members "out of the country" you'd think they'd want to bump up the numbers. Maybe you're right. I always felt that Ronnie B found Ronnie C an irritating little turd with no talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slave to the Grave 26 Posted October 30, 2005 This was apparently shown on BBC TV back in the seventies. Ronnie Barker could say all this without a sN-word, though god knows how many takes it took. Irony is that they received not one complaint. The speed of delivery must have been too much to take in for the serial complainers. 'This is the story of Rindercella and her sugly isters. Rindercella and her sugly isters lived in a marge lansion. Rindercella worked very hard frubbing sloors, emptying poss pits, and shivelling shot. At the end of the day, she was knucking fackered. The sugly isters were right bugly astards. One was called Mary Hinge, and the other was called Betty Swallocks; they were really forrible huckers; they had fetty sweet and fetty swannies. The sugly isters had tickets to go to the ball, but the cotton runts would not let Rindercella go. Suddenly there was a bucking fang, and her gairy fodmother appeared. Her name was Shairy Hithole and she was a light rucking fesbian. She turned a pumpkin and six mite wice into a hucking cuge farriage with six dandy ronkeys who had buge hollocks and dig bicks. The gairy fodmother told Rindercella to be back by dimnlight otherwise, there would be a cucking falamity. At the ball, Rindercella was dancing with the prandsome hince when suddenly the clock struck twelve. "Mist all chucking frighty!!!" said Rindercella, and she ran out tripping barse over ollocks, so dropping her slass glipper. The very next day the prandsome hince knocked on Rindercella's door and the sugly isters let him in. Suddenly, Betty Swallocks lifted her leg and let off a fig bart. "Who's fust jarted??" asked the prandsome hince. "Blame that fugly ucker over there!!" said Mary Hinge. When the stinking brown cloud had lifted, he tried the slass glipper on both the sugly isters without success and their feet stucking funk. Betty Swallocks was ducking fisgusted and gave the prandsome hince a knack in the kickers. This was not difficult as he had bucking fuge halls and a hig bard on. He tried the slass glipper on Rindercella and it fitted pucking ferfectly. Rindercella and the prandsome hince were married. The pransome hince lived his life in lucking fuxury, and Rindercella lived hers with a follen swanny.' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ronnie B would never do anything that 'blue' and the BBC certainly wouldn't broadcast it. It's Internet myth I'm afraid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadian Paul 97 Posted November 22, 2005 Out of curiosity, how likely did it seem before hand that Ronnie Barker would die this year? How likely does does it seem that the relatively young Ronnie Corbett will follow? I'm not suggesting and I have no real idea, but you guys would know better than me.

Hi Paul, I don't think anyone other than our resident psychics saw Ronnie Barker's death approaching; he looked good for another few years at least. As for Mr. Corbett, if he pops his clogs before 2015 I'll be very surprised. He's pretty active in work and play (golf etc.) and has no serious illnesses that I know of. Probably not a good pick for anyone's Dead Pool for the next decade. I hope that answers your question. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers. Agreed! Captain's Mate sees him down at the fishmonger's every few weeks and reports a robust individual with a ruddy complexion, probably as a result of all that golf. I have issued a request to ask after his health next time, but the Mate is reluctant and says that we are a bunch of sickos! (Insubordination!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted November 24, 2005 I have issued a request to ask after his health next time, but the Mate is reluctant and says that we are a bunch of sickos! (Insubordination!) I think he's the sicko, assuming that we were only asking in hopes that we were sick. Perhaps we just wish to be assured that a fine comedian is in the best of healths.

G. Love 0 Posted November 24, 2005 I don't know, Barker looked ready to die for years, I'm actually quite surprised he didn't cark it earlier. Corbet's still lookin' good (well...) though, he'll be the Ernie Wise to Barker's Eric Morecambe and make it for a decade or two imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
